GARBURETER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 20, 1917.

I Toall whom it may camera.-

' heated surface over which the crude oil may Be it known that I, ARTHUR S. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at (Janton in the county of Stark and Statev of Ohm, have invented new and useful. Improvements in Carburetors, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates-to carburetors.

. The object of this invention is to produce a carbureter for explosive eng nes by the use of which gasoline or other light hydrocarbons suitable for forming explosive mixtures with air may be continuously drawn froniaconstant flow of the heavier hydrocarbon liquids, such as crude oil, for example and mixed with the proper proportion 0 air.'

It is one'of ray-objects to provide a suitably XII- otlicr-obj cct' is to, provide suitable means for removing from the said surface the -rrsiduc which remains after the light explosive hydrocarbons have been extracted by the suction of the engine. Another object is to provide for the said residue a removable receptacle or collector which preferably forms a bottom closure of the carburetor and is provided with tubular openings serving as vacuum breakers for tho carbureting i 1 Referring .to .the accompanying drawings, :Eigure 1 is an elevation showing my imui proved carburetorand certain, adjunctive apparatus; l ig.,2, a central vertical section 85 the oil-.hc ti oft-he carbureter; Fig. 3, a top plan view of 'ng con the oil-supply nozzle",

the present instanc which are secured by I I having the inwardly i v stribjiter and the scraper, the oil sl1pply.pipc bcing.shown in horizontal section; Fig. -l a lctail1 elevation showing the i h thc casing; and-l ig.

arrange an oil receiving surface 6 shown in e as a cone, having its apex extending upwardly and its base provided with outwardly extending lugs 7 the screws 8 to the inwardly extending lugs 9 on the inner Wall of the chamber 2.

The wall of the chamber 2 is tapered upwardly preferably parallel with the lateral surface of the cone, as shown at 10, to about the level of the top of the cone or a little higher, whence the said wall is continued ippwardly in preferably cylindrical form, as

the upwardly tapering shown at 1.1, whereby carbureting chamber-.01 passage 12 is provided aroiind the surface of the cone and a cylindrical pal'i'sage 13 is provided above the cone. The walls 16* and '11 are surrounded by the double or jackct e'dlwall 14 which conforms to the general shape of the walls 10 and 11, an air-passage l5 beingprovided between the wall ll and the walls 10 and 11.

The cylindrical. portion of the wall 14: extends up above the top of thepassage 13 to 'form thewarhurctin chamber 16 Which. is continued pastlthe tirottle 17 to a suitable receiver, as thcintake manifold of an explosive ringing-not shown. The lower end of the passage, 15 is supplied through the pipe 18 with air which maybe preheated, if desired. The pipe 18 is provided with the damper or valve 19 for regulating the influx of air into the passage 15. 20 ispan auxil- .iary air-supply chamber opening into the chamber llinear the top of the wall 111K 51 opening valve 21 yieldingly held closed byv the spring 22 hav ing its tension regulated by the nut 23.

should be heatcd to promote of'thc' shaft extends through the hub of the spider 26 having the arms 27 on the interior face of the wall 11. The upper end of the shaft has an axial bore 28 which opens into 30, through which electricity, 'ot,\vater, or

' hot air may be supplied for. preheating the crude oil. the receptacie by the pump 32 which is connected thereto bythe pipe 33. The prim?1 forces the oil through the pipe 34 Whit;

' passes through the carbureter above the connec't-ion 26 and. extends through the upper wall of the connection. The pipe :34: has the by-pass valve which regulates the amount of oil passing above it through the pipe 34. This valve has the arm 36 by which it me be regulated. is a by-pass pipe throng which oil, forced to the valve and not allowed to pass to the nozzle 29 is returned to the preheater. The pump is driven by the shaft 38 by means of the gear 39 cc: to a suitably driven shaft. The shah- 38 is connected 'to the shaft 9-5 by the bevel gears 40.

The shaft adjust above the-top of the cone is provided with the oil-spreader 4,1

the engine is running,

' ed' to the lintaho which travels in contact with the surface of the cone and. at the rear of the nozzle 29 for the purpose of spreading the oil over the surface of the cone. I. prefer to curve the spreader backwar'dly so as to allow some of the oil to How to the lower part of the cone before the spreader-engages the oil will spread over the cone from one end to, the other.

I provide the shaft 25 just above the top of the cone with a scraper 42 which engages the surface of the cone from top to bottom and scrapes from its surface the residue remaining from the crude oil after the lighter hydrocarbons have been drawn ofi'.

Assuming that the chamber-16 is-conneotpipe of an explosive'cngine; that the shaft 58 is connected to an engine shaft which varies in speed as the speed of the engine; that the cone (3 is suitably heated by the heater wire 24. or other means; that the jacketed wall 14 is supplier-thy heated water. or air; properlyheated by'the coil 31; and that thereby creating a partial vacuum in the cl'ian'lber beau-d oil flows from the pipe 34 into the eonrieciion Bli and thence through the oilsupply 1;:assagr; 24 and 'the nomll'c 2-9 and upon the upper i-nd of the heated cone; The

The various valves all have external adjustin means which may be operated from e point, as the dash of an automobile. The colleetel 3 ma rmin time "to, time be disoeifiaeiited {from the jar part of the 9 a and lowered so that the said resitl'iie be removed.
